Lego Fortnite has been in a holding pattern since its Star Wars-focused Lego Pass concluded in July, but popular mode is expanding in a big way this week with the Lost Isles update, which drops on Tuesday alongside Fortnite patch 31.20. Lost Isles will add a massive new area to your Lego Fortnite world--your island will stay as it is, but you'll be able to travel to another island with five different biomes that are unlike anything from your existing islands, and they're full of new items and weapons for you to discover. We've also got a new Lego Pass, a series of Marvel-oriented Lego kit bundles that include skins, and all players will now be able to build an airship for getting around.
While Lego Fortnite doesn't have seasons the same that way that battle royale and Festival do, this Lost Isles refresh is on the level of a season launch in terms of how much content it's adding. The world available for all players to explore is doubling in size with the introduction of the Lost Isles area. This new area is separate from your existing map, though. In order to reach it, you'll just need to use a battle bus station. Once you've arrived, you'll have five new environments to check out: the beach, jungle, plains, mountains, and the islands floating in the air above it all.
The new Lego Pass features island builds and a new Peely skin. Unlike the previous Lego Pass, which was all about Star Wars, there isn't a collaboration involved with this pass. The Lego Pass has two tracks, a free one and a paid one, which you progress at the same time by completing quests. If you do upgrade to the Premium track for 1400 V-Bucks, you'll get the new Island Adventure Peely immediately. But this pass is pretty short--it ends on October 11.
